    Great. We all say this about the service industry, too. So since farming is your life blood you think its hard and people need to understand.

    By that logic, everyone should be drafted for many different vocations to gain perspective on other people’s careers.

    Edit: Also it seems she’s implying that someone else will pay the wages if she wants a draft. She wouldn’t have to rely on imported employees if she payed a living wage to begin with.

      I don’t think this is a bad idea. Have young people do a 2 year service in let’s say, three month periods, in different socially important sectors like health, public space maintenance, care of the disadvantaged, forest maintenace, etc. chosen at random. It would help people realize a lot of things about the society we live in.

        I don’t disagree at all. Gives kids a little nibble of different sectors before they commit their lives to one. Not to mention the hard work, and perspective you gain by doing so.

      Everyone should have experienced working retail. That should reduce the amount of Karen’s massively!

        You’d think so, but I had a colleague who boasted about how rude she was to a retail worker. This colleague was a fellow minimum wage sales assistant. Some people are just entitled little pricks who want all the respect, but aren’t willing to reciprocate.
